  • John and Charlotte Richins had a daughter, Hannah Louisa, who traveled with them, but died on July 12, three days before the company departed from Iowa City. The company journal misidentifies the death as "the daughter of Hanna Louiza Richins" rather than Hannah herself.

    The family sailed to America in 1856 on the ship Thornton.
